I purposely have slightly different versions as I think that is how myths and legends should be.
Still I would say he was most pleased with making Nirn.
Th snow thistle comes very well in the icy region
As I told Lia below there is a love affair between Hircine and Kyne that is a bit sad. They do actually love each other in their own fashion. Hircine has his alpha view of Kyne that makes him somewhat protective and aroused towards her - and resents the trickery Lorkhan played on her. Kyne sees Hircine as a powerful but somewhat beastly fellow, one that needs a firm hand to bring out his good points. But neither can really do much about it ... except ...
I wrote one story about how on a certain night under certain conditions their spirits can have a few moments together. I am not sure where the story link is though - so many posts ... but if I come across it will share again.
Nicely done
Well in Grim's world Hircine has a sort of love-infatuation-crush-desire (not sure on best word) for Kyne. Kyne also is rather fond of Hircine although I think she see's him as a bit of a beast that she enjoys teasing and keeping in check. Whether they would ever go further is a little mute since she has no solid existence except perhaps in her home plane with Shor. Course Shor can also be Lorkhan ... but religion and mythology almost never make sense and most Gods seem to be very promiscuous anyhow.
Regardless I have always liked having this little secret love affair going between them that it a bit sad in many ways as they only had that once time and now its lost.
Lorkhan got what he wanted out of them so I suspect he would not have a motive to promote love between them ... but then a god related to trickery and mischief might do it for their own amusement I suppose
@Izzy - Thanks as well Izzy!
In my own roleplay forum (sadly only a german speaking one) I play a Beserk who was gifted and cursed by Odin himself. It took me weeks of researching and writing his biography for nearly 3750 years (no one would dare to ask a Beserk how old he is xD). You can't compare Odin and Fenrir. You can't compare a simple Beserk with Fenrir. But the roots will always be the same.
Fenrir, Hel and Jorgamundr will always be my favorite northern deities, next to Loki and Skadi
Your -may I name it avatar?- human form of Fenrir offers a lot of potential to each path he may or may not will follow in the future. You decide to go with a beautiful themed backstory "The Thistle King" and I'm eager to see how this came to be.. a small backview would be wonderful.
I always saw Fenrir as what happens when you raise an animal poorly and betray its trust once too many times - it can become feral and turn on you. They took Fenrir in to their home (the Gods) and then betrayed him. So my take is what if that hadn't happened or if perhaps someone had stood up for him ... a human perhaps .. who became his agent, a bodyguard. Hmm I tend to try and see the good in things I guess. I think that is my "Disney story" personality showing through.
Course we know Fenrir from Grim's stories but for the most part we saw it through Grim's eyes. This is more a chance to get to know the wolf from his own eyes ... keeping in mind he is a child of Lorkhan (who, as far as being the trickster and a rebel goes, has some minor similarities to Loki) and it can be hard to know what is truly going on behind those emerald eyes.
This version of how Fenrir came to be is by far my favorite one, since it is that close to what humans can imagine with it. The circumstances uunder wich he was made, also bears a lot of humanity in it, with things like love, passion and trickery going on.
Also like your images of Fenrir. Very feral in nature and a fine representant of the Northern fierceness.
Norse Mythology is my favorite of all the mythologies (with Irish and Celtic some others) and have always thought them unique in that their gods are mortal (unlike say the Roman or Greek ones) and know they might die someday. Reflects the Norse way of life I suspect. Gods of the old days had a lot more passion and emotion in them I think - perhaps why I find them so interesting and attractive - just as you pointed out.
